When you see tattoos of anchors, roses and seaworthy relics, chances are Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins inspired them. Known to be a bit of a badass, the sea-lovin' Collins is the patron saint of the edgy, sometimes irreverent flash tattoo, and has influenced many modern tattoo artists like Don Ed Hardy. To pay tribute to his legacy, creative folks of various ink specialties are convening at this soiree to show off their Collins-inspired artwork, and to sip freely from the bar cranking Sailor Jerry rum beverages. It's a fitting tribute, considering Collins' favorite shindigs were surely arrrrrrrt parties.
Fri., Nov. 12, 8 p.m., free, Sailor Jerry, 116-118 S. 13th St., 215-531-6380, sailorjerry.com.
